I've been giving it a try. Well, ..only on Thurs nights after 830...:p:D

I've been lucky enough to still wear the same size jeans I've worn since high school. 29-30s Normal everyday go-tos are Wrangler regular fit. I'd wear shorts everyday if I was able. I spend a ton of time in BDU pants (which I've been finding myself wearing more and more especially working in the summer...) They are just so comfortable.

Tactical Kilt? I have the legs for it still. Not like when I was doing a lot of cycling, that was ridiculous. It is not easy to find pants where the thighs and the waist are about the same size.

There are people that knew me for years in college and podiatry school that never saw me in long pants

I'm 59 and detest polyester infused stretch jeans. Its getting harder to find 100% cotton jeans now days. The new stretch jeans will shrink 14 ways from Sunday and never fit the same.

you want some high dollar Japanese denim. You know why it is so expensive? Because it is worth it

The only time I have worn my tights were for very cold road ride and when I bartended. With a 28" waist and bulging cut thighs stood out even more with the black tights.
